Well, Charlie Brown closed last Sunday and we have been trying to return to normalcy all week since. What a fun run we had! Here are a few photos of the kids on closing night.
The strike party after the show was in a big, cold, loud warehouse space, but the environment didn't dampen the fun for the kids. Even Donny had a good time with his improvized pants/hat.
I love my little Round Headed Kid!
Also, last week was a baby shower/girls night out for my sister Beth who is expecting her second baby, Katie Twist, next month. We went to beaches and had a nice, low-key evening over Beaches' House Salad, chicken pizza and dessert (I ordered the bananas foster which was good, but not at all like any other bananas foster I've heard of).
Donny is trying to sit up on his own these days. Unfortunately, though he seems to have the muscles to do it, he still has to learn the balance side of sitting. We prop him up and he sits happily for a few seconds then falls one way or the other - all the time with a big grin on his face, as if nothing happened. He can sit for quite a while on the couch without falling. Eventually, though, he ends up on his face or side.
We hope you are having a blessed holiday. Ours is promising to be busy, but a good time of connecting with family and friends.
On a different note, my Grandma (Whittaker) Borovec passed away in her sleep yesterday. We got to see her this summer and twice this fall. She was getting weaker and her mind was getting more fuzzy, but she seemed in good health. What a blessing that she was able to remain independent and healthy for her whole life. We will miss our little grandma. She was a gentle and hospitable woman with lots of love to give... and the first adult we could out-grow! She was never quite five foot tall, so her grandkids loved to measure next to her since she made us feel so tall. I'm going to miss having her around... and I'm sad that my kids won't remember her. Days like this make me think a lot more about my own mortality. It reminds me to cherish each moment and relationship.
